Yes, but there are some precautions you should follow. Be sure to label your bottles so that you know which ones are frozen. Also, don't fill your bottles more than halfway. If you do, your drink may overflow or spill from the bottle.

If you are worried about getting your drinks too hot when they come out of the freezer, put them into the fridge for 5 minutes before serving. You won't be able to heat them up as fast.

How to make Manhattan's best cocktail
One of the most famous cocktails is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock described the Manhattan in his 1930 book, "The Savoy Bar Book". In this cocktail, equal amounts of sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, gin, and rye whiskey are mixed together with ice cubes. You can add bitters, orange juice or maraschino cherry to this cocktail, or Angostura Bitters. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail consisting of four ingredients. It is served in a chilled glass. It's origins can be traced back to the 19th-century when it was known by the Four Deuces. This is because it had two measures whiskey, two measures rye, two measures vodka, and two measure of gin. Today, the original recipe is still popular among bartenders and drinkers alike.
Some prefer bourbon over rye while others prefer brandy. Both are equally good. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. Two shots of rye will be used, along with two shots sweet vermouth, four shots dry vermouth, eight shots of bittersweet vermouth and eight shots gin. Mix them all together, and let it sit for 15 mins. Strain the mixture, and then serve. Serve with a maraschino Cherry or a twist from lemon peel.
